Dear Gentleman"It's just work, all that matters is work"The light is my paint, my eyelashes my brushes. (I always supported my photographs with the image of a painting whose colors are to be interpreted as you do (like nobody else)). Doisneau said "There are people who have the courtoisie to live before writing." I love this modest point of view even if I am not at Doisneau's level.

I apologise for the late reply, Valéry. I thank you for accepting this impression of your relationship with light and for these illuminating corrections. We are privileged to glimpse your consciousness of being part of a tradition in its exploration and 'usage,' which naturally enriches considerably our sharing of it.

Thank you again for visiting rmbl and for engaging all readers in your remarks; this fortunate gesture is one of the rewards of sustaining the page, and a keen sustenance in rewarding its ventures.

Writing to a colleague in the 1930s, the physicist Wolfgang Pauli confessed, “I have done a terrible thing. I’ve postulated a particle that can not be detected.” Eventually, Pauli won the Nobel Prize for his Exclusion Principle, i.e., all material particles exhibit space-occupying behaviour - and could very well fall within the province of restaurants. I wonder if red mug, blue linen will be that terrible thing, a postulate without a particle - that a gentleman is only that creature whose nourishment occupies no space. But whether that is true, is less urgent to know than where it comes from.
